no idea

Thumbs keyboard is best.and love the new skins.
[Acer Iconia A500] blazingwolf:
How does that answer the OPs question?

OP: That usually means you haven't finished something yet but it seems weird that it happens on the first option. Have you tried a reinstall?

Is it dangerous for the cpu to be up to 120 F

It did so I took out the battery and left it off for a while. Will it cool down?

It should cool down, if it doesn't, it violates conservation of energy.

Hi

I seem to have bricked th phone...argh!

Delete system app DigitalClock.apk via Titanium. The phone restrted and showed an image of a opened box with an arrow and a moving bar underneath., After a few seconds all DARK and the phone is unresponsive.

Also tried to plug it and go to flash mode but nothing not led will switch on.

Any idea?

Alex
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lord Takyon:
No idea what has happened, but simply removing that app didn't cause it.

You will probably have to reflash I'm afraid.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] festa20:
Yea just from deleting the clock it wouldnt have bricked it flash a ftf again mate through flashtool
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bin4ry:
what you saw was the OTA screen.so you have accepted the OTA update.

locked or unlocked bootloader?

Regards
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SandroV1972:
Actually I did not. I just did what I said in the previous post and then the phone rebooted and bricked.

I already had fallen into the OTA update problem so I know what it is (see also my messages in the proper forum post. I assure you this was not it. It might be the problem but I did not accept any OTA update, it just went on its own from Titanium to that screen to brick.

I will try reflash tonight.

Cheers

[solved...almost]

I followed the procedure to unbrick the phone that apparently went into the FOTA update on its own. The phone works! But...

I can't install or update my apps.It says no spcace in the phone but I have 90Mb left. I also can't run Fix permission from ROM manager it says

"An erro occured while attempting to run provoleged commands!"

Ideas??

Thanks
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kistigun:
try reflashing it with the flash tool
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SandroV1972:
Do you mean reflash with the flashtool to unbrick it or reflash the entire firmware?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
You'd be better of starting from scratch imo, so yes, re-write the whole firmware.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SandroV1972:
I feared you'd say that. I really don't understand why though this happens. I uninstalled the updates of my Market and now it doesn't install or update but it doesn't give me any error.

I get SU privileges but can't fix permissions from RomManager.:(
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SandroV1972:
Flashed Firmware it works now!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SandroV1972:
Hi lord Bin4ry,

it seems we were both right. I installed the new firmware and out of curiosity tried to uninstall Chinese keyboard via Titanium. I got a message saying that it had to reboot twice to uninstall as NAND:

first rebott and...image of a box with a arrow coming out of it

then nothing, bricked again...

Si I did not accept any OTA update it seems to get into this state anytime I try to remove a system app via Titanium

Any idea?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raoa:
That is weird bug. Do you have branded FW or Generic FW?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raoa:
You fellow are rebooting into recovery mode, that much is certain.

Possible you have set up your Titanium to always reboot into recovery to make new nandroid backup?

I am browsing in CWM myself now, so what you speak of is so obvious. The question is now then why does your phone boot into recovery? What have you done to make it do that?

Guys

I searched the Sony Ericsson category in the new market app on my phone yesterday, and you can already install the new widgets and apps from the category. Just browse the category on your phone to get some of the new .368 apps :-D

I have also provided a link on the website to show you what's available. Thouh their might be some updates which are available in this post, and not on the market itself.

Both sources help

https://market.android.com/search?q=sony+ericsson&c=apps&feature=spelling

Life Contacts is available

Data Monitor

Various new timescape extentions

Live view

P.S.... @ShyamSasi hope you don't mind be posting this, did not see a point in a whole new thread, let me know if you want me to put elsewere...thanks

Cheers
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] babygau:
which apk i should install in order to have new home launcher + themes?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] ShyamSasi:
I haven't tested it myself since i'm using the new build. I would think the Home.apk, ThemeManager.apk and DefaultThemes.apk.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] ShyamSasi:
Well not all the applications are in Market for example the updated Home Launcher, New Timescale UI, Data Monitor Widget etc.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] mariolouis:
The update has same kernel and android version so installing all these apps/replacing other default apps will "update" my already rooted 2.3.3 right? Will try this weekend.

Thanks for posting the apks!

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] omarsara:
Cant install the weather widget and the theme manager,,why?

Sent from my Sonyericsson Xperia Arc
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] mariolouis:
Try to move them all to /system then change permission. Then move them one by one to /system/app. Others will have to be replaced. See if that works. Will try myself this coming weekend.

Edit: When I said all, I mean all apks including framework. Framework. jar should also be in its right folder. You'll know it is right because it will ask you to replace the file. Framework.apk is important for home, themes, xloud, widgets to work. Reboot after you've done that.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] hellocng:
So if I want xLoud, I'll lose my current theme?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] mariolouis:
Yes because it is activated in settings menu which is in new framework apk. Just mod it again after you are done.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] hellocng:
Are there other .apk I need to use xLoud or just the framework-res.apk?

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] lastword112:
lol phone stuck in boot loop =/ had to flash the new fw, lost root :/ (sadface)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] DemonicHawk:
Yeah, I've also tried this... DO NOT replace your framework-res.apk from 3.0.1.A.0.145 with the newer 4.0.A.2.368 version. Your phone will get stuck in a reset loop and unless you have an unlocked bootloader, its a huge pain to get root again.

I ended up just using the 4.0 firmware though because I love the new weather widget so much :p
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] lastword112:
with 4.0 firmware the phone is running faster w/o root compared to 2.3.3 with all bloatware frozen with tbp.
[HTC Inspire 4G] greentrees89:
so i noticed in the speedtest.net app there is a option to change servers before or after you run the test, the app auto selects the closest server, im useing ninja 0716 with Lords kernel 6.2, anyways i run the test several times with the closest server selected automatically its in my city 10 miles away i consistently get very very poor data speeds, i then switch to the next closest server which is 55 miles away and run the test several times and get very consistent results with amazing speeds 4X what i get with the close server??? anyways what im hoping is that there is a way to make my phone ignore that close server so that i can always connect to that server that is further away, then i will have the data speeds that i pay for??? maybe edit the build.prop or something i hope someone here can help me:confused:
[HTC Inspire 4G] sammael1069:
The speedtest app is very inaccurate if you want more reliable speedtests you should navigate in the browser to a something like speakeasy. The server you speedtest to has nothing to do with the tower your connected to. There are tweaks you can do to get better speeds.
[HTC Inspire 4G] greentrees89:
any one else?

so server or tower either way the accuracy of speedtest dosent matter to me consistency is consistency, i have great speed every where but my neighborhood, because of this local tower or server that my phone sticks too, i want to bypass this so that im connected to one thats further away, by the way i tested this with other apps and got the same results every time.
[HTC Inspire 4G] sammael1069:
now i get you, you want specify which tower you connect to. It would be hard to trick the phone into connecting to a weaker signal. Have you tried speedtests late at night to see if your speeds are better. if its slow all the time the tower might not have the backhaul done yet. or it may have issues, some towers are slow due to misconfig. there is one in the next town over from me thats always 1.5 meg down 24/7 just so happens to be the one that the at&t store is near the store told them multiple times that its slow and they wont do anything to fix it. you would think they want that tower to have good speeds but thats at&t for ya. ;)

[HTC Inspire 4G] greentrees89:
i hope someone can help

i have tested at night and it is better but still very very poor in comparison...d
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tx Redneck:
Chances are you're connecting to the same cell tower when you run that test w/ varying speeds on speedtest, it just so happens that the server in which you're testing against is either 1)highly congested or 2) having issues. You're getting the speeds you pay for when testing on each of them but one ST.net server is able to reflect it more accurately than the other.
[HTC Inspire 4G] g3ismeee:
Have you tried Open Signal app from the market? It at least indicates which tower you are connected to by CID and such, and provides a map of it's general location using Google maps. Also logs the pertinent signal stats. I've mapped out my environs pretty good using it...and now know what to generally expect from the network. I live in a virtual forest of towers, so knowiing which tower I'm connected to and knowing it's general performance over time..well I'm just into that I guess. ... Along with knowing by CID and location a couple of really kick azz towers that are good for the ego to run a test and get a kick butt number.
[HTC Inspire 4G] greentrees89:
WTF?

ok let me make this clear IM NOT A FUC**** IDIOT when i run the test im not connected to the same tower with varying speeds OMG! consistent speeds all through out the day on every test, the accuracy means NOTHING, ive used all speed tests so yes i have Open Signal installed and guess what i get the SAME results, when i switch towers either by using speedtest and manually switching or by leaving my town, i get great i mean great speeds consistently once again ACCURACY MEANS NOTHING FOR THESE TESTS!!!
[HTC Inspire 4G] g3ismeee:
Well gee you know it all. Why did you come on here and ask anyway?...it's was hard to understand what kind of help you want to be honest...and now that I do, go find your own answers.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Agoattamer:
Dude, Texas Redneck answered your questions correctly. Quit being such a NOOB! Evidentally you don't know the difference between a tower and a server or have any idea of the concept. The tower is where your phone gets connection from. It is that big antenna close to you with the dishes on the top. Most likely you are using the same tower when you run the test if you stay in the same place.

When you connect to speednet you are connectiong to one of their servers. So your signal may go from your phone > tower > server A > speednet server A. If you change speednet server it may go phone > tower > server A > server B > speednet server B. There could be numerous servers in between or none. The closer you are the less there should be so as to say giving you the fastest test connection. But there are many factors. The tower can be congested and so can the servers. So depending on the time of day or which servers are congested your connection speed could be fast or slow.

But you cannot switch servers or towers to use your phone on. They are determined by what ip address you are accessing and your location. So if your town has a capped tower and connects to a slow server then you get slow speeds. Or move.
[HTC Inspire 4G] greentrees89:
LOL

OK your funny i know what a tower is :D you make me laugh, this and ACCURACY make no difference to me, it dosent matter what test i use or what server they use, all that matters to me is connecting to a tower that is further away, the phone selects the closest tower for me, someone out there knows how to change this, im am hopeing they will reply here and share this info, and everyone else that being you! can mumble the obvious to them selves and not waste my time, lol your funny :D there are very smart people that occasionally poke there heads in here to laugh at NOOBS like you, if im lucky one of them will stop by and chat with me about tricking my phone into connecting to the tower of my choice, since you obviously have no idea what im talking about FU** off, lol thanks for the laugh :D

[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
+1 This

Also, OP, don't be trollin' and don't be trolled. The Pyramid (aka Sensation) is identical to the Shooter (aka Evo 3D) in every way except as follows:

Shooter has 2x5MP cameras instead of 1x8MP camera

Shooter has 1024MB RAM instead of 768MB RAM

Shooter has a parallax barrier 3D implementation and the Pyramid does not.

...even though the Pyramid does do slightly better in benchmarks for some reason (I think it has more aggressive memory management to compensate for the 256mb that it doesn't have)...but those results are negligible and likely absolutely unnoticeable to a human being.
[HTC EVO 3D] sprinttouch666:
no lol. The he's referring to the htc sensation, which is basically the same phone except its a little thinner, less ram, less internal storage and no 3D. so he's an idiot (not surprised lol) :D

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bugmenotacc:
one day my phone decided to stop playing nice, and without reason, started boot screen looping.

flashed it with a 354 recovery.img, and then a 354 update.pkg and then installed streakdroid 1.9.1 over that, everything went swimmingly.

then weeks of stability later, I did a reset (not the first) and weird **** came up (from the bottom of the screen, the one that normally can't be rotated to... saying "send this device back for repair, performing format do not remove battery" or something like that.

nothing was happening, so I tried to turn it off, nothing, so I pulled the battery, reinserted it and again, ran fine.

then, a day or so later, I reset the phone, and now it just loops the dell logo.

I tried flashing a 351 recovery.img, and running a 351 update.pkg and still just the loop.

I tried a nandroid backup and it says it can't mount /data/ because e: does not exist

I seem to be able to flasheverything and anything (except the nandroid data) and I have no idea what to try now...

so if there's nothing more I can do, I will need to know what the current australian ROM version is so I can flash it and maybe get it repaired.

does anybody have any suggestions?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marvin02:

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] breckbit:
It´s strongly recommended to flash the stock rom/recovery/baseband first - even if its going to loop on the bootscreen - before you let Dell replace your device! You know, flashing other roms than the official ones void your warranty! :)
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djscopesofm:

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Newcron:
Yes, this was what happened to me as well.

You can confirm this by doing the internal sd card test. This is accessed through fastboot, but I can't remember the number combination to get there. It's around here somewhere, just do a search.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marvin02:
From a FAQ that was on StreadDroid.com:

1. Turn off your Streak

2. Hold down the camera button all the way, as you turn on your Streak

3. At the white screen, dial in the code *#301# – This will open the engineering mode that allows you to run individual tests.

4. Dial in 10 then press Enter to run the ‘SD & SIM’ test

5. The “Internal SD” test should pass, and it should show “permanent write-nonprotect”.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bugmenotacc:
internal SD card failed :mad:

internal SD:

SD card error!

CMD/Data test : PASS

Permanent write-protection

I'm assuming the best and thinking that means that the SD card had a boo boo and it had nothing to do with my interference...

so can peeps help me one more time and tell me which recovery/ROM/baseband is the current australian builds? the warranty guys are anal about that sort of stuff...

and a stupid question while I'm on the topic, is the BB amss.mbn file for a build in the update.pkg for that same build? if it's different, I'm going to need a link for the amss.mbn file because I don't know what corner of the internet they're hiding them atm...

this is the latest official australian build its 318BB... u probably just got a dud unit, thats my guess..

i remember wen i got my N95 yrs ago i got a dud sd card.. i told em its just the sd card but theyre stupid and nokia replaced the hole unit just in case

like i said, if u have warranty, just use it

PS. when u get ur new unit, be sure to use the 354 rom, its uses the the australian standard frequencies..

either 11 or 00 regions work best.. check here: http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=File:Dell_Streak.png#ROMs

There's currently no such thing as an 'australian build'

Streaks sold there are either the US or EU model (i cant recall which) and use the 00/retail roms. Of those 351 is the latest 00 rom.

I had a big long writeup, but the forum timed me out...

I've looked up some YT video's about how to get to the internal card

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6w4AbtIGp8A

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0f9N99gAP3w

the first video shows me where the internal SD card is located, the second shows me a cleaner way to get to it...

I need a smaller star screwdriver than what I have to get to it, even the tech guys at my work don't have a screwdriver THAT small...

but I have a few questions, I've looked some, but I don't think this kind of info is easy to find...

so, questions:

what are the size and speed specs of the internal SD card slot? logic dictates that it'll be the same as the external card slot, (32Gb class ?)

I've read that there are three slots inside, can I use all three?

if so, are they only accessed by apps like ASTRO and the like, or can I get to them via the data cable?

has anybody else done this kind of thing? is there anything I need to know?

is there anything else I can mod/tweak while I'm in there?

and, finally, how sweet would it be to get a triple calss 10 RAID 0 going on in there? I'm sure it's all but impossible, but unless I ask, how would I get to know right?

Hardware Hacking the Streak – thread at MoDaCo, main focus is replacing the internal SD Card with a faster, larger card

How-to Increase streak storage up to 62 GB – an extension/continuation of the hardware hacking thread at MoDaCo

If your phone is still in warranty you should use it, there was a known problem with some Streaks being shipped with a bad internal SD Card.

If it is out of warranty and you choose to replace the inner card I can state from experience that you can easily get access to the card by cutting the back cover with a razor/exacto knife. There is a pic in the thread at MoDaCo that illustrates this. Of course the phone I altered was already dead and I was not able to resurrect it, so I have no way of knowing if my surgery had any ill effects.

A pic of the one I altered is attached.

Edit: the red text is right on the actual internal SD card. You move it to the left to remove it.
